On December 18th, the chorus had the honor to sing at a party thrown by world famous photographer, Bruce Weber, honoring contributors to his new anthology, "All-American VIII: Nature's Way" (Little Bear Press.) Bruce and friends were definitely dazzled by the sounds of the PS22 Chorus of 2009, and you couldn't miss the alternating smiles, tears, gasps, and joyous laughter from the audience once the group took the stage. Here is a video featuring a highlight performance from the event. The song is, "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," made popular by Nina Simone, one of the book's contributors.
The kids were in top form, and showed Bruce's guests exactly how they've earned themselves their international reputation! Thanks go, as always, to Ms. Lisa & Mrs. Johnson for the amazing pics and video footage that go along with this post! Below are some more photos from our fun night out in the city with Bruce Weber!
